Here are notables from the Atlantic Coast Conference football schedules released Monday for the first 14-team season in league history:

-- Duke and North Carolina return to a spot on the last weekend of the regular season, meeting Nov. 30 in Chapel Hill.

-- On the flip side, North Carolina’s opener is a Thursday night game at South Carolina.

-- Wake Forest’s first game comes on a Thursday night at home against Presbyterian followed the next week with a Friday night game at Boston College.

-- Under new coach Dave Doeren, North Carolina State plays its first four games at home, including a Thursday night matchup Sept. 19 against Clemson. The Wolfpack won’t leave the state until Oct. 26 at Florida State and the only other game out of state comes Nov. 16 at Boston College.

-- North Carolina’s back in the mix for a Thursday night home game, this time Oct. 17 against Miami. Not quite as appealing without the Butch Davis coaching angle or minus soon-to-depart chancellor Holden Thorp to assist in the music for the national anthem.

-- Georgia Tech opens the season with three games against North Carolina-based schools: Home vs. Elon University, at Duke and home against North Carolina. The Yellow Jackets, though, have a week off to recover after playing Elon.

-- Duke’s new-found success in 2012 apparently caused a need for future opponents to receive a break. Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest all have open weeks prior to facing Duke this year. The Blue Devils, though, can relax during an open week and watch the Nov. 2 matchup between North Carolina and N.C. State in Raleigh.

-- Newcomer Pittsburgh has two games in special spots on the schedule, opening its ACC era with a Labor Day home game against Florida State. The Panthers end the regular season on the day after Thanksgiving with a home matchup with Miami, which might find potential probation as appealing as a late-November game in western Pennsylvania.

-- Syracuse’s first conference encounter in its new league will be an Oct. 5 home game against Clemson, which will be playing its third ACC game at that point.

-- East Carolina’s yearning to be an ACC member can hold some solace with games against Virginia Tech (Sept.14) and at North Carolina (Sept. 28) and at N.C. State (Nov. 23). Old Dominion can make a case, too, with games at Maryland (Sept. 7), at Pittsburgh (Oct. 19) and at North Carolina (Nov. 23).

-- Ten of the 14 teams play league matchups to end the regular season, with the exceptions being Clemson (at South Carolina), Florida State (at Florida), Georgia Tech (vs. Georgia) and Wake Forest (at Vanderbilt). In fact, Clemson, Florida State and Georgia Tech all play non-league games in the last two weeks of the regular season.
